Student Night: Inspiring the Children of Today; Creating the Audiences of Tomorrow Each year over 2,000 students are introduced to the wonder of opera through Student Night at the Opera. For many, Student Night at the Opera is their first time attending an opera. Once each season, Manitoba Opera asks our patrons to support this program through our “Pass the Hat” initiative which is taking place at all three performances of The Marriage of Figaro. Following the intermission, ushers will be passing baskets to collect contributions in support of Student Night at the Opera. Students from Dauphin’s Barker School at the Opera. “ Students love the quality of all aspects of the music and the staging. It's a wonderful way for students to see a superior performance in a fantastic venue for an affordable price.” – Cherylene Kentner, Boissevain School Contributions help to offset the cost of this program, which enables students from Winnipeg and the surrounding region to attend the dress rehearsal of our regular productions. “ We had a big group to the opera, over 20 refugee students new to Canada, and they just had a fabulous, fabulous time. They are always thrilled to go! They love the story line, the music, the costumes, the Concert Hall, and the ENTIRE experience. This is a BIG highlight for my students… it’s a huge gift for me, as an educator, to get these discounted tickets each year.” – Valerie Pierce, Grant Park High School With your support, we are able to offer tickets for Student Night at the Opera for only $12 per student. Your contribution also helps to pay for the creation of study guides for teachers to help them prepare students for the performance. Thank you for helping us to inspire children today and create the audiences of tomorrow.
